In 1909 Seattle hosted its first World's Fair on the University of Washington campus - the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition (AYP). The AYP attracted more than 3.5 million visitors from around the world, giving Seattle much-needed prominence and attention as a leader in Pacific trade. The layout of the Exposition and its buildings were partly funded by the state legislature, so that they could later be used by the University. The San Francisco firm of Howard & Galloway was responsible for the design supervision of the fair's official buildings and sent their chief designer, Eduard Champney, to oversee the entire project. Although several buildings were intended to be used as permanent campus strucutures after the fair, only two have survived. Originally the Machinery Pavilion at the Exposition, this building was later used by the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Departments. In 1948, Electrical Engineering moved to a new building and this AYP remnant was torn down a few years later.
